摘要
Stressed etch stop liners (ESL) are a common way to increase device performance. Here we investigate the layout dependent channel stress for mono- and multi-layer deposition. By means of empirical pseudopotential method full band structures are calculated and based on full band Boltzmann equation mobilities are extracted. We present for the first time nonlinear mobility enhancement maps for two strain components, in channel and out-of-plane direction, showing that for typical ESL conditions both strain components are important for NFET and PFET.
